This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID50X900 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID50X900 in place of this model. The SAI replacement keeps the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, output force and accessories, so it drops straight into existing fixtures. It is the current-production version of this cylinder with an upgraded piston seal.
Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X900
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X900 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 900mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAID50X900, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X900
The AirTAC B06-SID50X900 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where the B06- prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SID50X900, mechanically identical in every spec. Because a rod exits both ends on one piston, both faces use the rod-side area, making push and pull force equal (825 N @0.5 MPa). This model is discontinued; the exact drop-in replacement is the SAID50X900, which reuses the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, G1/4 port, and M16x1.5 rod thread.
The SAI upgrade features an upgraded piston seal using two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life. A double-rod design prevents piston rotation and allows the rear rod to carry a sensor cam or drive a second tool. Based on the 825 N force at 0.5 MPa, the safe working load is approximately 495 N (about 60% capacity), yielding a vertical lift capacity of roughly 42 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note this SKU lacks a -S magnet and cannot accept sensing switches.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø50mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 982 N | 825 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1374 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 200 kgf | |
The B06-SAID50X900 produces the same force from the same bore — a true drop-in on output. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

Where the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X900 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal both-ways force precisely presses and separates battery cell layers during module stacking without rotational drift.
Tab Welding Transfer
The rear rod drives a secondary welder cam while the front rod handles part positioning, doubling automation output.
Pack Handling Shift
Anti-rotation properties keep battery packs aligned during 900mm lateral transfers across assembly conveyors.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X900 with the B06-SAID50X900
To replace the discontinued B06-SID50X900, install the drop-in SAID50X900, which matches the 50mm bore, 900mm stroke, G1/4 port, and ISO 15552 mounting dimensions (Basic, FA, LB, TC) without bracket machining. Size both directions by the equal-both-ways force: if 825 N @0.5 MPa is insufficient, step up to the 63mm bore (1402 N), or drop to the 40mm bore (528 N) if lower force is needed. Choose a double-rod cylinder when you need anti-rotation stability or must drive two tools simultaneously. For the 900mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending under side loads. Because this SKU lacks a magnet, no sensors can be fitted.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAID50X900
- ✓ Same bore / stroke / force
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/G/NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Mounting reused (FA/FB/CA/CB/CR/LB/TC)
Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID50X900 FAQ
Yes, the B06-SID50X900 battery-manufacturing dedicated cylinder is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID50X900. The B06- prefix only denotes the battery industry application; mechanically it is identical to the base SID50X900. The SAID50X900 matches the ISO 15552 interface, 50mm bore, 900mm stroke, and G1/4 port.
Force is equal both ways: 825 N @0.5 MPa, 1154 N @0.7 MPa, and 1484 N @0.9 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a 1.5 MPa proof pressure. Speed is 30-800 mm/s. The cushion only decelerates near stroke end; it does not hold loads on air loss. For held loads, use an external rod lock or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant.
